About:
CocoaPods is a decentralized dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C Cocoa projects. It simplifies the process of integrating third-party libraries into Xcode projects by managing library resolution, versioning, and integration. It maintains a central repository of thousands of libraries to streamline iOS and macOS development workflows.
Key Features:
  • Centralized library repository with over 98,000 pods
  • Automatic dependency resolution and graph management
  • Seamless Xcode project integration
  • Semantic versioning support
  • Podspec format for library metadata
Use Cases:
  • Adding third-party libraries to iOS or macOS applications
  • Managing complex dependency graphs in Swift projects
  • Standardizing library distribution across development teams
Alternatives:
  • Swift Package Manager – Apple's official solution with native Xcode integration but smaller ecosystem
  • Carthage – Decentralized manager that builds frameworks without project file modification
